Ludlow House

Given that this private members’ club is located in a former gold-leaf factory on New York’s Lower East Side, it could have given its owner inspiration to go OTT with the lamé, glitter and gilt. However, said owner is the reliable Soho House group, so Ludlow House is decorated in the same restrained, stylish way as its venues around the world. Its multiple rooms include Lou’s, a Mediterranean-American kitchen and bar, plus a rooftop Asian restaurant with a retractable ceiling.
